[Improvement] Queue CDR and Stats

• Queue-CDRs have been redesigned and refactored.
• In previous versions when a call was traversing different queues the cdr would store the information of the last one. That wasn’t accurate for queue statistics. In this version there’s a new Queue-CDR entry for each time the call enters a queue. There’s a 1-N relationship between PBX-CDR and Queue-CDR.
• There are new Queue-CDR stats and charts that can be filtered
• There are improvements in the PBX-CDR stats and charts
• The new Queue-CDRs are exposed via Admin API.

[Improvement] Linear Queues redesigned

• Due a bug in Asterisk, the linear strategy wasn’t properly implemented in PekePBX v1.0. 9 years later seems like that bug will never be fixed so it was about time to rethink the linear implementation. We removed the old workaround and implemented a proper linear strategy.
• Known bug: Each time a linear queue is edited it will be destroyed and recreated. That means that the “paused” status of the queue members will be reset.

[Improvement] Queue status Wallboard.

• New alternate view of queue status focused on big screens and fullscreen mode.

[Usability] Queue form has been reorganized.

• The queue create/edit form has been redesigned with blocks to improve usability.

[Bugfix] Microsoft Teams call transfers

• A problem with call transfers originated by MST extensions has been fixed. Microsoft sends whatever it wants in the format it wants.

[Improvement] User-Extension decoupling

• In the past a User could have 1 SIP extensión and 0-1 GSM extensions. Now Users can have 0-N extensions of any kind.
• User preferences like callforwarding and others have been moved to extension preferences. That way you can modify the bahaviour of individual extensions.

[New][Module] Microsoft Teams (MST) extensions

• The PBX has now a builtin SBC to interface with Microsoft Teams. As long as the user has a valid Microsoft Teams license with Direct Routing capabilities it can be configured to use PekePBX as PBX server.
• No need to external SBCs or extra licenses (in the PBX side).
• MST extensions will be as any other extension (such as SIP extensions) in the PBX.
• Note: Configuration is needed in the Microsoft side. The PBX won’t ask the user for admin credentials. Instead will guide the Admin through a wizard to properly configure the integration. This is for security reasons and while it makes the initial setup a little bit harder it’s something the Admin should do only once.
